Jake jumps at the Horse of the Year Show

During the weekend of 7 - 8 October 2017 Jake Myers, in Year 9, had a fabulous time competing at the Horse of the Year Show held in Birmingham at the NEC Arena.

His mother said “Jake held his nerve to jump calmly and confidently under the huge pressure of competing at the Horse of the Year Show.” He finished a fantastic second place, which exceeded all of his expectations, as this was his first time at such a prestigious competition.

He initially did not have a good draw being second to go and was the first to clear; consequently he then had to go first in the final jump off. However, he was eventually beaten in time by another horseman in his category, who also jumped clear.
